Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location wasn't bad, about one mile from restaurants and shops, making it a convenient spot for an overnight stay. The rooms were clean and seemed recently renovated, but there was a persistent unpleasant smell. The service was friendly but had some issues with payments and cleanliness. While the dining experience wasn't exceptional, it did offer a decent late service. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory for a short stay.
The hotel is conveniently located with attractions nearby, but the room quality and noise level were disappointing. The service was friendly and accommodating. The dining options were good, but some facilities could use an update.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms could use some updating, and the smell of smoke was quite overwhelming, leading us to buy air fresheners to try to improve the odor. On the bright side, the staff was very helpful and even offered us a discounted ticket to Grandfather Mountain park. The location was convenient for all our activities in Boone, but the breakfast area lacked some attention to detail. The dining experience was decent, although the breakfast options were limited.
